Comprehensive Microsoft Security Solutions
Safeguard your organisation with Microsoft's advanced security technologies, ensuring robust protection across all platforms.
Overview of Microsoft Security Solutions
Microsoft offers a suite of integrated security tools designed to protect your infrastructure, applications, and data across cloud and on-premises environments. These solutions help organisations address evolving cyber threats, maintain compliance, and secure digital assets effectively.
Key Microsoft Security Solutions
Microsoft Defender for Cloud (formerly Azure Security Center)
A unified infrastructure security management system that provides advanced threat protection across all your cloud platforms, whether within Azure or elsewhere. It helps tackle challenges like rapidly changing cloud workloads, sophisticated attacks, and the scarcity of security expertise.
Azure Key Vault
A cloud-based service designed to securely store and manage sensitive information such as passwords, certificates, and API keys, ensuring complete control over access.
Azure Policy Compliance
Azure Policy Compliance is highly sought after as it contains an expansive, constantly updated library of integrated policies. Each of these built-in policies will enforce specific rules and regulations of the appropriate Azure resources. This allows for easy evaluation of policy compliance of your assigned resources which will allow you to see what may need updated in order to comply with the appropriate policy.
Azure DDoS Protection
Offers a comprehensive library of built-in policies that enforce specific rules and regulations on Azure resources, facilitating easy evaluation and compliance management.
Microsoft Sentinel (Azure Sentinel)
A security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) solution that delivers comprehensive security analytics and threat intelligence, enabling rapid response to incidents and proactive threat hunting.
Azure Network Security
Encompasses various features like Network Security Groups, Application Security Groups, Azure Firewall, vulnerability management, container security, next-generation firewall integration, and web application firewall, all designed to prevent unauthorised access and ensure only legitimate traffic reaches your network.
Network Security Group, Application Security Group, and Azure Firewall
These ASG/NSG/AF solutions are implemented within a flat cloud network, applying specific rules to workloads or VM groups, simplifying the process by which rules are defined. The Azure Firewall protects traffic inside and outside the network.
Vulnerability Management and Container Security
Vulnerability management involves continuous monitoring and assessment of a network to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Container security refers to the implementation of specific policies and tools to protect the infrastructure, runtime, and more.
Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Integration
Going beyond the capabilities of traditional firewalls, an NGFW inspects network traffic, controls traffic flow, enhances process awareness, and protects against intrusions and other cloud-based threats.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
A WAF shields web applications from a variety of attacks, including OWASP vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), cookie poisoning, and SQL injection. Implementing WAF for your web applications ensures that the majority of attacks aimed at exfiltrating information or disrupting services are successfully blocked.
